HP WILL SHIP the first blade servers based on Intel's Itanium processor some time next year.

This means it will be able to offer HP-UX on its BladeSystem product range, currently only available with x86 processors like the Xeon and AMD's Opteron running Windows and Linux.

Also on the blade front, Sun and IBM have scored a deal whereby Sun's Solaris 10 operating system will run on IBM's BladeCenter servers.

"We've signed up our first tier 1 systems vendor as a Solaris supporter: It's IBM, and their decision to provide comprehensive support for Solaris on BladeCenter definitely puts them ahead of the other blade vendors in offering a truly OS-neutral product," said Sun president Schwartz on his blog. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
